Navigating Primary and Dependent Views

Use any of the following methods to navigate between primary and dependent views.

• To go to the primary view from a dependent view, right-click a dependent view crop boundary, and click Go to Primary View.
• To go to a dependent view from the primary view, right-click the crop boundary of the view you want to go to, and click Go to View.
• If there is a view reference, double-click it to open the view that it references.

  A view reference is a symbol. You can create a view reference family in the Family Editor. View reference families can contain lines, filled regions, text and labels for the view number and sheet number parameter values.

To add a view reference

1. Open the view to which you want to add a reference.
   Note: If the view is on a sheet, right-click the view, and click Activate View.
2. Click Annotate tabTag panelView Reference.
3. On the Options Bar, select the target view.

   Alternatively, click the crop region of the view you want to reference. If crop regions are not visible click (Show Crop Region) on the View Control Bar.

4. Click in the drawing area to place the reference.

   View references display in the primary view and all related dependent views (except for the view that it is referencing). For example, if you have a view split into 2 dependent views (left and right), and you add a view reference to the right view to reference the left, the view reference appears in the primary view and in the right view, but not in the left view.

To hide view references

1. Click Manage tabGraphics panel(Visibility/Graphics).
2. Click the Annotation Categories tab.
3. Clear the check box for View Reference.
